You can learn from watching some of the best umpires in the world how to handle situations, and how not to handle situations. You can learn from their good calls just as well as their mistakes. We can learn from watching their ejections.
Plus, I for one find it hilarious for a manager or player to get what they've earned.
Finally, who can argue with the comedic value of these clips? From Haller's famed " Ha Boom!" and " you're gonna be in the hall of fame for ****in' up world series" and Joe West stare down from a week ago, they make for cheap entertainment.

These are professionals dealing with professionals. As amateurs which 99% of us are it's not always a good idea to emulate what they do. eg. The skipper comes out Joe what the f**k you got? Professional acceptable High School I don't think so.
The other problem with these clips is that we're not privy to the conversation. It's easy to eject. The tough part is knowing what to say and when to say it to keep them in the game. That being said when their behaviour becomes unacceptable dump them.
